Returning students

Please be advised by applying for accommodation, you are agreeing that you have already read the conditions of residence in the Residents' Guide (PDF).

Returning students are those who have previously studied at the University of Surrey at any level of study including on a foundation course. As a returning student, you can apply for accommodation at any point of the year. However, during term time we are usually at full capacity and room availability is very limited. Since it is unlikely that rooms are available, we strongly suggest that you explore the private sector. Information and advice can be found in the University of Surrey Lettings website.

Returning Students for September 2019

Application Deadline: Applications for returning students (undergraduate and postgraduate) open from 12 February 2019 at 10am to 13 March 2019 at midnight (GMT).

Application Year: Please make sure you apply for the correct academic year. If you are looking for accommodation starting in September 2019 you must apply for academic year 2019/20. Failing to do so may invalidate your application.

Application Type: You can only make one accommodation application per academic year; you are not able to apply for both campus accommodation and USL properties. Details on the USL application process and deadlines can be found on the USL Managed Properties webpage.

Outcome: All applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application late March 2019.

Guarantees: Returning students (undergraduate and postgraduate) are not guaranteed accommodation. For exceptions, please review our Allocations Policy. If you fall outside the guarantee, our Lettings Agency is here to help support you in your search for housing in the private sector.

Second Semester Accommodation 2019/20

On campus we expect there to be a very limited number of rooms that will be available. These will be offered on a first come first serve basis, after new students starting for semester two have been allocated in early December. If you would like to be considered for a campus room and have made an application please email accommodation@surrey.ac.uk stating that you require accommodation for the Second Semester, if you haven’t made an application for the 2019/20 academic year then please apply at https://ams.surrey.ac.uk/
